The Raiders' game management has come under fire at different times this season as they lost games they probably should've won.

Sezer admitted it was pleasing to be able to manipulate an opposition and capitalise on mistakes, allowing the Raiders to belt out a rendition of their victory song rather than hearing the opposition sing theirs through the changing room walls.

"It was pretty fortunate where [Tom] Trbojevic made an error and we got a repeat set off the back of a kick and it gave us an opportunity to get the field goal," he said.

"I was thinking [it was] going to go over and we're going to get the win and go and have a good time with the Old Boys and the team as well.

"It's been few and far between the tight wins. I'm pretty sure it's frustrating for our fans through all of those tight losses. But it's very sweet to get a win in this fashion."

The win was still far from perfect for the Raiders, but it was a big improvement over the 32-16 road loss to Manly in round four.

Sezer hoped the nature of Friday night's win will help them continue to rise from the ashes after an 0-4 start to the season.

"We are playing some pretty positive footy," he said.

"You saw [Manly] came out with a lot of energy and we knew if we could weather that storm we could get ourselves back in the fight and the boys did that.

"I spoke before about making so many errors and we didn't deserve to win the game. But to get a win in that style with our captain kicking that goal to level things up with three (minutes) to go, hopefully it's a springboard and has inspired all of the boys."
